Dear all
It is my pleasure to inform you that Rory Hadden has successfully defended his PhD thesis in the viva exam today, subject to minor editorial corrections. His studies were supervised by Guillermo Rein and the thesis title was:
Smouldering and self-sustaining reactions in solids: an experimental approach
The external examiner was Dr.-Ing. Martin Schmidt, Head of working group on Flammable Bulk Materials and Dusts, Solid Fuels at BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing); I was the internal.
Rory had done a great job exploring the diverse topics of smouldering combustion, from fertiliser fires and fire brand ignitions to the pervasive problems of (unwanted) underground coal and peat fires. So there was no need to haul him over the coals ;)
Well done Rory!
Stephen
